Is Your Pay-Per-Click Campaign a Profit Engine or a Money Pit?

Are you experiencing pay-per-click (PPC) advertising as a drain on your budget instead of as a boost to your bottom line? If your pay-per-click campaigns aren’t earning you money, then you need to take another look at the way you are running them.

Paid search advertising is one of the hottest search marketing trends around today, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. While it’s easy enough to get a campaign quickly up and running, few businesses fully understand how to setup, manage or leverage pay-per-click campaigns properly.

Get Up To Speed Fast In Our 6-Week PPC Campaign Clinic / Teleclass

Led by Jennifer Laycock, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Guide and author of the Small Business Guide to Search Engine Marketing, this class will help you understand that successful pay-per-click advertising takes more than simply picking out some keywords and entering your credit card number.

Jennifer’s clients have included companies like Verizon and Highlights for Children. Her primary client now is a little girl named Elnora that happens to be her daughter. Her former clients' loss is your gain. Thanks to our innovative teleclass format, Jennifer is now available to teach you her secrets to PPC success.

So What's A Teleclass?

A teleclass is a "virtual classroom," using an online (web) meeting room and conference call to bring students and teachers together. Classes are held weekly with a group conference call and online presentation. These weekly sessions last 2 hours, consisting of a 60-90 minute lecture/presentation followed by question and answer time.

No travel is required, so you can stay at home and learn without the time and expense of traveling for in-person training. Class presentations are recorded with video and audio, and are available for download from our private support web site within 48 hours. If you miss a class, you can watch the video and attend one of our supplemental question & answer calls during the week, hosted by SEO coach Dan Thies.

In our experience, students learn more, and experience more success, with a slower pace. One class per week leaves you some time to digest what you've learned and begin putting it into practice. Compare this to in-person training, where the instructors attempt to cram all of the knowledge into your head in one or two days. We think you'll agree that our approach is better.

With teleclasses from SEO Research Labs, you are never left on your own to sort things out. In addition to the extensive question & answer time built into every class, you also receive a full year's access to our private support site and forums.
